Happy Throwback Thursday!
We are doing some spring cleaning and found some amazing kendamas from our friends at Grain Theory that never made it online. We took some photos and here they are!
Grab some of the cleanest and coolest kendamas by Grain Theory, including signature editions for pro players Nic Stodd, Ben Harold, and Steph Lussier from the GT Team.
STODD is Nic Stodd’s signature kendama, built around his fast, technical, and flow driven playstyle. As part of Grain Theory’s pro shape lineup, it reflects a player specific approach to performance, emphasizing movement, control, and consistency.
The ken features a longer, straight profile without a swoop, creating a clean and predictable feel through motion. This shape enhances control during juggles, late kens, and continuous string flow, making it especially suited for modern, technical play.
The EBH is Ben Harold’s signature model, based on the shape of his original 2017 pro model and brought to life with a unique creative concept. This release goes beyond standard design, incorporating real notes, sketches, and concepts pulled directly from Ben’s notebooks.
Every detail reflects his process. From written trick ideas to hand drawn concepts, the design captures moments of creativity during the development of his playstyle. Some ideas are complete, others are still evolving, giving the model a raw and personal feel.
GT-TC SL is Steph Lussier’s signature kendama, reflecting both her technical skill and the positive energy she brings to the community. As a North American Women’s Champion, her influence extends beyond competition, inspiring players through both performance and teaching.
Built on the GT-TC shape, this model offers a balanced, versatile feel suited for a wide range of play styles. It provides a stable and consistent platform while maintaining the responsiveness needed for modern techniques.
